No matter what, they would have gone through with their plan, they would have found some other way to plan out, and train and stuff like that. A killer does not stop just because he loses a shoe or something, he has his goal set in mind, and he wants it.

EVERYONE sees the same damn colors. -.- I look at a blue cup, i ask my friend what color that is, he'll say blue. NOW if you want to talk about why we called it blue in the first place, there you would make a point. Red is red, no matter what, it will always be that color, but why did we call it red, why didnt we call red blue? BUT even if we were to call it blue, it would be the same color, changing the name of something does not make it what it is. you can take a piece of paper, and call it bologna but it is still not eatable, does not taste like a meat product, and does not remotely look like it. END OF CASE

If you're talking about the Columbine Massacre, and I think you are, there was a rather more pertinent reason for blaming videogames, rather than just a shirking of responsibility.
The entire day was planned out for months, and they practised on a modified Doom map, that was created as a mirror of their school.
In fact, in the videotape the pair made before the killings, one of the two, Eric Harris is quoted as saying; "It's going to be like ****ing Doom. Tick, tick, tick, tick... Haa! That ****ing shotgun is straight from Doom"

Columbine is definitely not a good example to take.


They created that mirror for their school. The game was not at all created to look like a school, so its not the games fault that they used a mod to change it, and just because they were quoted with that, does not mean thats what made them WANT to go kill everyone, they just said its like it. Sure yeah, taking a shotgun and shooting you're friend in the head is EXACTLY like killing some one eye'd flying monster thing, i mean the resemblence is uncanny.

Man don't even get me started with all this. I have a HUGE discussion in my history class about video game violence and if it causes real life violence. There was an artical posted like 2 years ago about 2 young kids killing alot of their friends at a high school, and their teachers, because they were having an "off day". So what did the parents do? Did they take responsibility for themselves and say "we just aren't good parents" NO they BLAMED IT ON VIDEO GAMES! that is so inferiating, VIDEO GAMES DO NOT CAUSE REAL VIOLENCE. Video games teach Hand Eye Coordination. Not how to hold a pistol to someones head and blow their brains out. Sure there are some cases where if someone is mentally ill, they might be in a since influenced by games, but you know what you do then? DON'T LET THEM PLAY FREAKING VIDEO GAMES! There are so many solutions to all this crap, but does the Gov't want to step in and make it all better, no they don't feel like getting their hands dirty, and all they want to do is try to BAN violent video games because THEY DONT WANT TO GET OFF THEIR FAT ASS'S AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
